Carfax Tower

The tower is all that remains of the 13th century St Martin’s Church, the official city church of Oxford from 1122. In 1896, the main part of the church was demolished to make more room for traffic in the area. The tower is 74 feet tall and no building in central Oxford may be constructed higher than it. As such, it’s possible to climb the 99 steps to the top of the tower for an amazing view over the Oxford skyline. Hop off the Open Top Bus at Stop 7 to visit us!

Four of us went up late on a Sunday when the weather was playing ball for a change in summer 2023. We enjoyed the views and appreciated the breaks to get a quick breather on the way up.

Saw this attraction and it looked very interesting so decided to check it out.It was lovely,the guy at the counter was very polite.Also the attraction itself was really nice,the stairs were cool and when you were about just under half way to the top there was a couple of facts as well which were interesting to read.Once you got up there the views from the top were absolutely stunning,you could see all the grand buildings,Oxford city centre and major attractions from high up and also what was lovely Is you could see the rolling hills of the chilterns as well.When you get down there you forget how high up you were,I would recommend this attraction to anyone

Short and easy stop to get the most spectacular views of Oxford center. It has MULTIPLE steps that are very narrow so do not bring in large bags or bulky items.

We were helped by Jules at the Carfax Tower in London and he went above and beyond to help us get to the top of the tower to see the city!! He was amazingly kind and helpful and we so appreciated him!!

On a weekend break in Oxford for our Golden Wedding. We returned just before setting off home to see some things we had missed and this was one of them. It's £3 to go up the 99 steps to the top of the tower but the views are great. The first set of metal steps are very narrow though. This is also one of the places where you can book tickets for the sightseeing bus, so you may have a long wait to purchase tower tickets if the group in front of you buying bus tickets have a thousand questions to ask !

Lovely views (despite damp grey day), good to get your bearings. Not a strenuous or difficult climb although staircase with 99 steps is narrow. Great tips & local knowledge from Jules at the desk for places to visit in Oxford- couldn’t see them all today but we will be back- thanks Jules!

Great views from the top. Worth going up the spiral staircase. A beautiful building. Worth visiting.

A surprising highlight of my day in Oxford. Pitched perfectly at £3 it was excellent value. Had a lovely sunny crisp day to admire the Oxford skyline and had the place to myself! A few information panels halfway up and a great way to get my bearings in the city.
